OBITUARY: Frances A. Shupe, 1849-1921, Mitchell County, Iowa



                         Frances A. Shupe

Frances A. Shupe, eldest child of William and Nancy Shupe, was born
near Owen Sound, Canada, March 21, 1849, and departed this life
September 23, 1921.

When a young child she removed with her parents to Decorah, Iowa,
thence to Fillmore County, Minnesota, and later to McIntire, where
she met and married Daniel W. Kaiser, of Lime Springs.  They spent
the better part of their life at McIntire, later removing to
Jamestown, North Dakota, where they remained about ten years.
From there they removed to Puyallup, Washington, where the deceased
met with a great sorrow in the loss of her husband.  After returning
to McIntire she made her home for a time with her brother, George
A. Shupe and family, and with her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs.
F.E. Sanders, of Fayette, in whose home she remained over two years.

On the 12th day of August, 1920, she married Henry Farnam, of
Forestburg, South Dakota, from which place her spirit took its
flight to the God who gave it.

Early in life she felt the need of her Saviour.  She was baptised
in the faith and united with the Baptist church of McIntire, of
which denomination she remained a faithful member.   Funeral
services were conducted in South Dakota and in Iowa.  Funeral
services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Bodenham, from the
Baptist church at McIntire, after which the body was laid to
rest beside her loved ones on the family lot in the McIntire cemetery.
